The Boeing Company Shoots Down Employment Discrimination Lawsuit Filed By Veteran Systems Engineer

A highly experienced Systems Engineer who claimed The Boeing Company illegally fired her because she is female has lost her March 2011 civil rights lawsuit inside the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana.

Maria Wu of Los Angeles had hoped to defeat the Chicago-based, international defense conglomerate for allegedly masking pro-male personnel moves that caused her to lose her $119,500 a year job in 2009.

As proof, Wu claimed that men given reduction in force notices were eventually kept and that she was denied five separate promotions given to her less qualified male colleagues.

Boeing, which makes Air Force One for the president, denied any wrongdoing and asked for summary judgment in their favor on all eight of Wu's contentions.

R. Scott Moxley’s award-winning investigative journalism has touched nerves for two decades. An angry congressman threatened to break Moxley’s knee caps. A dirty sheriff promised his critical reporting was irrelevant and then landed in prison. Corporate crooks won’t take his calls. Murderous gangsters mad-dogged him in court. The U.S. House of Representatives debated his work. Pusillanimous cops have left hostile messages using fake names. Federal prosecutors credited his stories for the arrest of a doctor who sold fake medicine to dying patients. And a frantic state legislator literally caught sleeping with lobbyists sprinted down state capital hallways to evade his questions in Sacramento.
